Abstract
The problems and support needs of small road contracting enterprises and of the prospects for entrepreneurship and enterprise growth in the South African road construction sector is the focus of this investigation. This study examines the building of the N4 toll road which is the anchor project for the Maputo Development Corridor. It draws on a wide range of source material, including existing secondary sources, primary project documentation relating to the N4 anchor project, a set of interviews with key individuals and business associations involved with implementation of the project, and a questionnaire survey that was administered to 30 emerging contractors that had successfully secured contracts for work on the Maputo Development Corridor. Overall, the article investigates the progress and workings of South Africa's targeted procurement approach towards stimulating small contractors in road construction.
